59. Assistant

''What do you want?'' Qi Longwei asked with an uneasy feeling.

Since the start of the class until now, Li Zhilan had been staring at him, looking out the window, biting her pencil, opening her mouth and then closing it back the whole time. The way she looked at him made him feel that she was planning something which was not good especially for him. Unable to bear any longer, Qi Longwei had voiced out his to find the potential source of his discomfort.

''Uh... nothing. I want no-"

''This is the last chance I'm giving you. Say it or leave it.''

''Alright alright. Don't be such a meanie. Actually I might have promised someone something that is quite difficult to do.''

''So...? What does it have to do with me?''

''It might or might not have something to do with you.''

''Orchid... What did you promise?'' By this time Qi Longwei was sure that it wasn't anything good. The guilt and awkwardness her face showed said it all.

''Well not much. Infact it's very easy. So will you help me. Help me this once and I'll owe you one. What say, not a bad deal huh?''

''Miss Orchid, you can't propose a deal without the main topic explained. What is it that you promised to do and what is it that you want me to help with. You gotta make it clear you know.''

''I might have promised to help someone set an appointment with you...''

''Appointment. With me? And you set it? Why didn't I know that I had such an assistant like you? Miss Orchid, are you planning to become my assistant in the future? It's not that I mind but I have really high requirements you know.''

''Shut up. Who wants to be your assistant. I don't want such a donkey of a boss.''

''Are you sure...?'' Qi Longwei stretched the end of his words as he squeezed it out between his gritted teeth. His tone screamed danger at every angle. Realizing that she said something wrong especially on a time like these when she needed his help, Li Zhilan couldn't help but want to smack herself in her head.

Was the thing inside still working or not?

''Ofcourse not. It's just that I don't think I'm capable enough to be the assistant of the future leader of the Qi group. I dare not want to be your assistant It's just I dare not dream about it. Yeah, I dare not dream about it.''

If she didn't need his help today, she would have really smacked him hard. But it is true that she dares not dream about becoming his assistant, not because of his status, rather because those people at home. If they heard she wasn't to be an assistant, they might just end up doing something outrageous. Even thinking about it gives them creeps.

''Oh... is that so. Then as a very nice and competent desk partner, why don't I help you realize your dream. If you agree to be my assistant for 3 months, I'll help you deal with anything you want. See, am I not the most wonderful deskmate ever?''
